Though Black Friday and Cyber Monday have already passed, Amazon is still running deals on its many devices, including Kindle e-readers, Echo speakers, and Fire TV sticks.
Many of the deals aren't quite as good as the ones from a few weeks ago, but you can still save a significant amount by shopping these gift options now before prices go back up. There are a couple devices, like the Blink XT 3-Camera System, or the Fire TV Stick two-pack, that are actually being sold at their lowest prices yet.
Whether your recipient loves reading, gaming, or watching shows, there's an Amazon device - and a holiday deal - to go along with their interest. If their entertainment needs have already been met, you can give the gift of peace of mind with a new security camera system, or help them set up a smart home with a smart plug.
Below, we've rounded up all the holiday Amazon device deals you can take advantage of just in time for the gift-giving season. We've also provided easy comparisons among options within the same family so you don't waste time going back and forth between pages trying to distinguish their differences.
